Two things come to mind when I hear ‘Oscar de la Renta’ : A) Old ladies who get their hair done into a basket for the week. B) ‘Oscar de la Rent Me’ as my charming brother would say. Anywho, These are my favorite picks from the Spring collection and …

Got a hunched back? Guess what ? It’s in this season! Who knew osteoporosis could be chic? Anyway, Thom Browne brought back the ‘Jewish accountant with an affinity for sail boats  and  with a serious comb-over situation‘ look for his Spring 2012 collection. That’s not the only look working for …

Never mind that the Arc de Triumph is on each model’s head or croquet wicket, designer Anouki Bicholla’s  color blocking and flair for frankenstein shoulders is right up my alley! My favorites are  the first two tutu dresses. I love flouncy dresses! the real winner of the show was the last lady …

    If you happen to be in Montreal, you should get to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts before October 2 to see the archived collections of Jean Paul Gaultier. As a huge gaultier fan, I’m kinda bummed that this exhibit probably will not be touring in the US, at least …

The Rodnik Band by Philip Colbert available at Not Just A Label Shop takes classic art by artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dali and recreates them as a dress. I think my favorite is the Tomato Soup can by Warhol… I mean, durrrrrr, who wouldn’t …

Canadian artist Nicole Dextras created an installation of all sorts of gowns made from weeds, flowers, and anything green that a bunny would feast upon. I love when fashion uses unconventional ‘fabrics’ to create a truly WTF outfit. Pay attention to the weaving technique in the bodice of the fourth photo- isn’t …

I had the pleasure of going to the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA again. I saw the exhibit last year in NYC, but wanted to take my son to see it in LA. Above is what I wore…. It’s sort of a bizarro-goth look, I guess? The dress is from …

When I saw these images, I totally gasped! It was like, so perfect and gorgeous.. and  I love the themes of the circus and Japan. The Japan photo set are like a modern geisha, so beautiful! I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before, you can read it here. Since it’s wedding …
